Hurricanes up to 5th place. Massive game against the Chiefs at home next week.

We've made things very difficult, losing games to MP and the Blues, along the draw with the Force among others

Yeah but the positive is we are starting to get our top team on the park and we look like a different beast. Just need to take that momentum home, winning tonight might be season defining for our playoff hopes.

Chiefs will be tough. We need to keep winning from now on in. Every game is like sudden death, to use a cliche

I’m only halfway through the game but I find it strange that there isn’t talk of how good Love went at 10.

Lots of blowing the midfield but from the first 40 you’d have to say that Love and Harkin did a great job of running play,

This was the game no one expected to be a Kiwi victory, while the Blues were very disappointing in Brisbane last night.

I do wonder how well Lam and Rieko would go with a halves pairing that starts with the likes of Roigard or Hastie.

I’m only 49 through and Proctor has been good, but the key has been how they’ve got space via 10/15 and of course Naholo having a stormer.

Edit: Roigard’s service has been excellent

That shot on Love is red.

I’ll take a bet that Brumbies 8 gets 3 weeks off.

Well done Canes even with a halfback competent out of his depth at super rugby level in Enari.

First win I believe in Canberra since 2016?

Along with Tomkinson. And Telea will get downgraded.

Awesome win by the canes, fantastic shape on attack. Another week in the saddle for Love and Proctor running the backs really makes a difference.

How did the ref miss that in real time. Looked bad at first look

Watching the match on delay. I was thinking to myself that we should have kicked the points at the 60th minute, only to see us score a wonderfully clinical try from the midfield scrum

Where is Viljoen? Surely he offers more?

gt12

I honestly expected them to get beaten well so that was a really nice surprise.

Some nice work rate from the Canes locks / loosies and Naholo having a stormer always helps.

The Canes starting backs to a man were very good (replacements a different story - Enari was fucking atrocious).

If I were the coaches I'd be very tempted to keep Love at 10. His passing game is excellent in traffic.

That's a monkey off, for sure. Didn't see that one coming and happy to lose points

He looked like a prospect a couple of years ago. Hasn't kicked on, or out of favour?
